Fontes: "The subversive effort of former Administration and anti-democratic factions, which further perpetuates the mythologies of widespread voter fraud, is leaving election administrators as potential victim to threats of violence, harassment and possibly physical harm."

RT @HouseJudiciary: Congress must act quickly to pass the #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct, which will protect and expand the right to vote. Our democracy is at stake.
.@ProfTolson: "In reality, #HR1 is less far reaching than some of Congress’ past Elections Clause statutes, illustrating that the statute is not at the outer limit of congressional authority under the Clause."
.@ProfTolson (@USCGouldLaw): "Despite the Elections Clause’s untapped potential, it has not been a source of much federal legislation, which contributes to the perception that H.R. 1 is unprecedented and therefore unconstitutional."
The Committee will hold a hearing to examine Congress’ broad and longstanding constitutional authority to enact federal election regulations, such as those in #HR1, under the Elections Clause. Tune in at 1:00 p.m. EDT: https://t.co/LylpbGU5t3

.@JNelsonLDF: "It is unacceptable that in 2021—56 years after the passage of the Voting Rights Act—the right to vote remains under threat."
.@jnelsonLDF (@NNACP_LDF): "In that decision, Chief Justice John Roberts invited Congress to update the VRA to respond to modern conditions. In the eight years since Shelby was decided, however, Congress has failed to do so, leaving voters of color—and our democracy—unprotected."

.@longoriatx: "My duty as a civil servant is the jump through hoops so that voters don't have to. No voter protection will ever be too onerous for me to implement when compared to the alternative of a weakened democracy."

Campbell (@NARF): “For most Americans, obtaining identification is a simple act of going to the local Department of Motor Vehicles (“DMV”). For many American Indian and Alaska Natives, however, the process is not so simple and in fact severely burdensome.”
Professor Lajevardi (@michiganstateu): "Today, voter identification laws represent one of the nation’s most important barriers to voting, and thus, one of the country’s most important civil rights issues."
